According to plans recently an-
nounced by Mr. Norman Mirsky,
president of the Jewish Welfare
Bureau, plans are being made for
a thorough canvass of the City
by the organization.
This canvass, unlike all others,
will not be for the purpose of
soliciting funds but for the ex-
press purpose of finding and locat-
ing all needy Jewish families. It
has come to the attention of the
organization that Jewish persons
in need have been helped by in-
dividuals. The aid thus given can-
not be adequate and is only tem-
porary. The Jewish Welfare Bu-
reau not only gives monetary re-
lief but attempts by giving em-
ployment, etc., to rehabilitate the
individuals or families involved.
The co-operation of all Miami
Jews is asked in this canvass. If
ySou knoir of any needy families
please communicate with the of-
fice of the organization in the:
Meyer Kiser building, where Mrs.
Sadye G. Rose ~Executive secre-
tary will immediately afford re-
lief.

In the final days of the stren-
uous campaign L. R. (Roy) Wes-
ton has been conducting for the
office of Sheriff which he seeks,
he has been traveling through
every section of the County car-
rying his fight to the people.
He has stressed his record of
clean, efficient administration of
public office, his experience in the
duties which will fit him for the
office of Sheriff gained in law en-
forcement work from 1924 to 1931
and his freedom from entangling
alliances of any kind as reasons
for the consideration of all serious
minded voters. In leaving office
he has always received the com-
mendation of the public and those
he was associated with. His
friends poilht to the fact that his
opponent who was Sheriff when
Dade County was comparatively
small was defeated for office upon
the very record he now tries to
be elected on, when the same ree-
ord was fresh in the minds of the
voters. Weston stresses the fact
that he has gained the friendship
of all people, regardless of race
or creed, and that when elected
he will serve the people of Dade
County, in an efficient, economical,
intelligent, honest and impartial
enforcement of the law without
fear or favor. He denies stren-
nously his association with ele-
ments inimical to public good and
challenges the gossipers and rum-
or mongers to prove their states
ments.

~s we near the closing days of the campaign, there appears before us vividly,
rphically a picture of two men, one of today and one of yesterday .. Both
DIANS and BOTZI JEWS .. and BIOTH 15AMED DAVID .

ate Constitutional convention of Florida, later a member of the Confederate
s undergoing imprisonment at Ft. Pulaski. Following the close of the Civil
resident of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad of Florida and interested in the
ment of Fernandina and Cedar Keys. Served his adopted country and his
State as Statesman, businessman, citizen, and Southern gentleman. Through.
long life, his honorable and distinguished career, David Yulee wras a Jew,
d a Jew, and was proud of it.

immigrant parents, educated splendidly and then comes to Florida. He too,
a public career. He serves in the Florida Legislature. He serves in other
es. He gains prominence as an attorney. He joins in Chamber of Commerce
Id now becomes the candidate for Governor of Florida, probably the highest
within the gift of his adopted State. And here we suddenly stop. The com-
ceases and a sharp contrast appears.

wo Davids .. Two men born Jews .. but how different! The David of
aunts to the world that "from childhood on, he was a member of the Congre-
Church." He seeks to hide from the world his Jewish parentage, and these
,ple suddenly become Germans, as if that mattered. He stresses his marriage
he faith as a reason for his elevation to the exalted office he desires. Faced
th certificates and interrogations he answers "we care not where he comes
e are interested where he is going."' But if only David Sholtz had read the
f the Fathers, he would not have so replied. "Man will not sin if he but re-
three.things. WHENCE THOU COMEST, whither thou gorest and before
ou will have to Appear in judgment." Yes, David, "WHENCE THOU
T" is important, and cannot be segregated from the other requirements.

hy all this? will be asked of us. What difference does it make whether
holtz is a Jew or not. Is the religion oT a man the criterion by which he is
dged in these modern days? Suppose Dave Sholtz was a Jew and became a
does that make a difference?

re answer ..."The Jews must vote for Dave Sholtz" says one of his Jewish
f ogsadn; H saJw "His parents are Jews, they can talk better
than I can," says another. "I have known Dave for years and know he is
heart." "I was down to Daytona Beach last week and know on good authority

e Jewish people throughout their entire history have recoiled at the very
of a renegade and apostate. Too much Jewish blood has been spilt and too
fering have the Jews undergone at the hands of those who were their own,

Park Meeting

Thursday night J. 1M. Lee of
Avon Park, Highland County, ad-
dressed thousands of Dade County
voters at Bayfront Park in the in-
terest of his campaign for elec-
tion as State Comptroller. He at-
tacked the record of the incumbent
in office and pointed to the fact
that the incumbent's record in
office showed a continual increase
in Bank failures and a gross in-
competence on the part of the
comptroller's office in the admin-
stration of the Banks of Florida.
Born in Irwin County, Georgia,
Mr. Lee served as County Judge.
He was admitted to practice of
Law in Georgia in 1915 and in
Florida in 1928. He was appoint-
ed attorney for the County Com-
missioners of Highlands County
and prosecuting attorney in 1925
and still retains that position. He
was a member of the Florida Leg-
islature in the sessions of 1929, 1
1929 and 1931 serving the interests
and the constituency of his county i
with marked ability. He fought
for. and secured Legislation tax- (
ing the rolling stock of the Sea- (
board Air Line in proportion to
the miles of railroad traversed in (
the respective counties. In his
platform and throughout his cam- (
paign he is stressing economy in
government, the ~removal -of poli.
ties from the office of the State
comptroller, a strict adherence of
the State Banks to the laws of the
St ate so that the interests of the
depositors may be adequately
safeguarded. He will insist upon
speedy liquidation of closed banks
so that the expenses of liquida- )
tion will not totally consume the I
assets of the defuc tb nk

t minstration, State Canvassing
-Board and member of Budgel
n Commission. He has many other
n duties in addition to be aforemen
d tioned. He has been in office for
sixteen years with ever increasing
duties of office. He points to the
s fact that during his adminstra-
-I tion he has handled more than one
hundred million dollars of the
public's money without the loss
of a penny, and has held down
,the operating expenses to a figure
always below the appropriation
griCIanted for the purpose.

Dan Chappell who has served
t~wo terms in the State Legisla-
ture has been making a very ac-
tive campaign based on his record
there, for the office of Senator
representing Dade county. In his
platform he promises to work for
rigid economy in state government
and thus to be able to sponsor
legislation.
To exempt all homesteads up to
$7,500.00 in value from state ad
valorem tax;
To maintain an adequate sys-
tem? of public free schools;
To reduce materially the State
gas and auto license tax;
To exempt completely from gas-
oline tax, motor boats and farm
tractors ;
To give relief to over-bonded
municipalities.
Mr. O~ttappijll wa-s in large meas-
ure responsible for the passage
of the pari-mutuel racing bill in
the last session of the legislature.

Charging that his opponent, E.
P. Roberts, is the candidate of
"special interests" and that "his
legislative record shows a lack
of ability and a failure to give at-
tention to his duties," Norris Mc-
Elya, candidate for the legisla-
ture in Group 3, last week told
Several political gatherings that
Dade county needs a man of ex-
perience in the legislature next
spring.
"My opponent himself .says he
was asked by a man to run for the
legislature some weeks before he
announced. He said he dismissed
the matter from his mind until
two or three days before he finally
'announced his candidacy, when
two men came to him and told
him he must run. He hasn't
named the man, but the people
are wondering who pushed him
into this race.

ord in the legislature of 1925

ponent to make public his own

election to the Legislature was
born in Alabama, moved to Flor-

here since. He has been a resi-
dent of Miami for the past seven
years. His record of public ser-
vice includes ten years as States
Attorney at Pensacola, Congress-
man fromt the 3rd Florida District

The world is now afflicted wit
dread of Jewish influence. In
book recently published by Hitle
the leader of the Fascist party i
1Germany, he says: "The Jew
have made a secret conspiracy
against the world, to bring it un
der their control." And he warn
the world to be on its guard, an
deliver itself from the yoke of th
Jewish race.
This. kind of dread evidently fill
ed the mind of Balak, when, aft
er slaying the Israelites unde:
Sihon and Og, they remained en
camped before him. As he dic
not see where he could gain I
physical~ victory, he tried to use
supernatural force by calling te
his aid Balaam, the most celebra~
ted of all the non-Jewiish miracle
workers of that day.
The Mrdash states: "Moses war
the great man of Israel, and Ba
saam of other nations. But whale
was the difference between the
Jewish prophet and the non-Jrew.
ish ? Moses, the prophet of Is.
rael, warned the people against
committing evil, while Balaama, the
prophet of the other nations, gave
the subtle advice to Balak, to se-
duce the Israelites through the
.daughters of Moab and Midian,
by which 24,000 Israelites died."
(Midr. Rab. &emid xx.)
Public he was compelled to
bless Israel, although he had been
called by Balak to curse them. On
three occasions at Balaam's re.
quest Balak had offered costly see-
rifices on the high places from
which the camp of Israel could be
seen, in hope that Balaam would
be inspired to curse Israel, and
on each occasion the spirit of God
restrained him.
The Talmud states (Ber. Ta):
There is a certain moment in the
morning when God is angry, and
no one knows exactly that mom-
ent, but this moment was known
to Balaam, as it is indicated in the
verse "and Knoweth the knowledge
of the Most High" (Num. xxtiv
16); but it was the great good
fortune of the Israelites that God
did not become angry on those
days when Balaam divined aant
them; for he himself said: "How
shall I: curse when God hath not
cursed, and how shall I execrate
whom the Lord hath not execr-
ate~d?" (ib. 8 zziii.)
From the blessings which Ba-
laamr uttered (see Num. ch. zl-

"!Now those four years have
flown by with a speed that passes
belief and as you stand upon the
threshold of a new world the
question that faces you is: Where
do you go from here ? And do
you walk or hitch-hike ?

perceived from a perusal of the

as inaudible as a banker's cheer.

"However, men of Hemswitch,
my message is not one of despair.
I do not wish to be too pessimis-

you may find work to do, especial-
ly if the folks have a lawn mow-

should not endure but was obliged
.to say, "as valleys stretched out;
he wanted to say that they should

but was obliged to say, "as gar-

ed to say tqat they should be
malodorous and he was obliged
to say, "as aloes planted of the

also the other verses of his bless-

I. had never purchased an oil
painting, but this old gentleman's
face attracted me. I thought it
would be nice to have him look-
ing down from my library walls.
So I stopped at the auction-room
on my way downtown and left a
bid. It was about half the ap--
praiser's value of the picture, and
I had no idea that I should be
successful. But next day the
manager of the galleries called
up to say that the old doctor was
mmne.
I took him home and hung him
rP, and I consult him frequently.
He has done me more good than
any other doctor, so much that I
feel I should introduce him to my

The way in which i consult him
is as follows: .
I come home from my office
very tired and care-worn. Con-
tracts have been cancelled; cus-
tomers have been unreasonable;
investments have gone sour; many
calls and letters have come from
people wanting me to make
speeches, lend them money, get
them jobs, and so forth. All in
all, I feel full of worries.
So I sit and look at the old
doctor, and speak to him on these
matters. He regards me with
eyes full of sympathy and under-
standing, but his face shows not
one sign of concern.
He says: "My boy, there were
all these troubles and more when
I was practicing in Venice in the
middle of the Sixteenth Century.
Wars were going on. Popes were
fighting emperors. People were
dying of plague. Businesses were
being ruined by pirates. Men were
struggling to support their fam-
ilies, slaving by day and kept
awake by fears at night. It was '
a tough time, my lad. And what
does it all amount to ? Most of \
Hose worries accomplished noth- l
ng; and all of those people have
>een dead for more than four hun-
Ired years."
Thus speaks the old doctor, and s
Usually he winds up with the il
words from which Abraham Lin-
oln drew so much comfort. e
"This too will pass," he says.

lost its ears. He came to ask
